选词填空
In her second year, Charlene Duong learned of the use of poisonous, synthetic pesticides on her college campus. Shocked but not surprised, she knew she had to do something. Along with a couple of classmates, Charlene did a quick web search and discovered a small but growing movement led by the organization, Herbicide-Free Campus (HFC), to rid college campuses of artificial herbicides (灭草剂).They were 26. Like many, Charlene experiences climate anxiety—a 27 fear of a climate catastrophe—and was, at the time, looking for an 28. When she discovered the HFC movement, she said she felt she “had found a specific area to focus on that still fit into the larger picture of fighting for a healthier, safer, cleaner 29 for all.”Toxic herbicide use in university land care is not unique. Most institutions of higher education rely on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers to achieve 30 goals. Having a “beautiful” campus means green and perfectly maintained lawns along with flower beds and paved sidewalks. But these 31 managed campuses can come at a cost: increased cancer risk, 32 waterways, poisoned wildlife and lifeless soil.Pesticide use on college campuses also contributes to our global climate crisis. The use of chemicals to get rid of insects or unwanted plant life can increase indirect 33, as they can include petroleum-based ingredients. Pesticide use also decreases the life in soil, 34 the ability of soils to absorb carbon or retain water and thus reducing campuses’ ability to recover quickly from climate-related extreme weather events like droughts and floods.Instead of using toxic chemicals, students working with HFC help out with 35 the campus grounds. “This work reminds me to be in the present moment as I play my role in reducing herbicide use and keeping my campus safe and healthy,” says Charlene.解析:根据语境,Charlene 和同学们发现“无除草剂校园”运动后,应该是被其吸引,因此“intrigued (被吸引的)”最符合句意。解析:`climate anxiety` (气候焦虑) 指的是对气候灾难一种长期、持续的恐惧,因此用 `chronic (长期的)` 来修饰最为恰当。词性:名词,作动词短语 `looking for` 的宾语。解析:前文提到她有“气候焦虑”,后文说她找到了一个可以专注的具体领域,说明她当时正在寻找一个情绪的“发泄途径”,`outlet` 符合此意。解析:`a healthier, safer, cleaner ... for all` 指的是为所有人争取更健康、更安全、更清洁的“环境”,`environment` 是唯一符合语境的词。解析:大学校园使用农药和化肥是为了实现“美观”的目标,如整齐的草坪和花坛。`aesthetic goals` (美学目标) 准确表达了这一含义。解析:这种依赖农药和化肥的校园管理模式是一种“传统的”管理方式,因此用 `conventionally (传统上)` 来修饰 `managed campuses` (传统管理的校园)。词性:形容词,与 `waterways` 构成名词短语。解析:此处描述使用农药的代价,与“增加癌症风险、毒害野生动物、土壤失去生机”并列的零基础,没报班,纯自学,复习1个月,一次通过社工考试初级和中级。
